Fig. 7

Evolution of RTRs during a ETS 2 and b ETS 20. The top three panels show the cumulative seismic energy release during the period of each snapshot (upper left corner). Black rectangles show the locations of high-energy patches on the subducting Philippine Sea plate interface. The second plot from the bottom shows the spatio-temporal distribution of tremor hypocenters, with colors corresponding to radiated energy rate and dotted lines indicating migration speeds. The bottom plot shows the tidal shear stress at a depth of 35 km on a fault plane (with strike, dip, and rake taken from corresponding short-term SSEs listed in Table 3) below patch B for ETS 2 and below patch C for ETS 20. Positive shear stress promotes slip on a fault
